Many thanks to Tracy D,Arth, Alan Fincher, PaulJ and BEngo for your help. What would I do without you. Thankyou.

Where can I purchase service items (oil filters etc.) for my Sabb 2Jhr engine in UK.

Converting to speedwheel controls. Any idea where I can get the wheels and linkages.

Will A Lister STW2 be powerful enough for a 50 ft narrowboat on the Severn or Trent. Some have said 20 hp, some 28 hp ?. Looking for a thumper but not much room on boat. Any idea's please.

I've got the same problem on my C220. I've been told its a leak from the tubing up inside the bowl. This tubing is just pushed on without hose clips and drips fresh water down onto the cassette. There is a film on youtube about taking the bowl off and shows the tubing. I hav'nt tried to do it yet but it looks a lot of fun.

Many thanks all. I think that scuppers it. Regards, John.

Dear Alan, I've gone and bought a 50 ft narrowboat with a Barrus Shire 40 engine (400 hours). Always had vintage engines during my 35 years on the cut and miss the relaxing throb, Downsized to a 50 ft because of my age. Can you suggest, say a 20 hp slow revving, water cooled engine. Kind Regards, John

Thankyou all. I think I'll get a Lister water cooled engine. Many thanks again. John

Thinking of changing my engine to a air cooled lister from a water cooled one. I know this is a daft question but any ideas on heating my water up from this new engine.
